Chapter eight hundred and eighty first tit for tat
"Crack!"
In the carriage entering the palace, Wei Jian took a bite of an apple. Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Is His Majesty's body really as rumored?"
Wei Jian sighed and said, "It's more serious than the rumors outside. The imperial doctor said that His Majesty's body may not be able to survive this month."
It's already the middle of the month. Doesn't it mean that Chen Huang's time is less than half a month?
Tang Ning frowned, looked at Wei Jian, and asked, "What is going on?"
Wei Jian shook his head and said: "Since Mr. Tang left the capital, His Majesty's health has been getting worse day by day. He has been sleeping most of the day. He has gradually handed over political affairs to King Duan. Concubine Tang Hui took the opportunity to take control of the palace.
On the grounds of Your Majesty's health, all ministers are prohibited from visiting you. This time we passed on the news of Mr. Tang's return to Your Majesty, and it took a lot of trouble..."
Tangning sighed, feeling a little complicated.
Although Chen Huang's methods are a bit too cruel and ruthless in his opinion, it is undeniable that he is a heroic leader. However, no matter how great his achievements are during his reign, he will eventually pass away with him.
, turned into cold words in history books.
There was silence in the carriage for a while, before Wei Jian spoke again, breaking the atmosphere.
He looked out the window and said as if unintentionally: "We know that there is a lot of hatred between Mr. Tang and King Duan, but Your Majesty has now made a choice. Mr. Tang should be more merciful to King Duan.
…”
He paused and added, "At least, while His Majesty is still in power..."
In fact, Wei Jian usually didn't talk much, but today he took the initiative to talk to Tangning a lot and revealed even more information.
Tang Ning looked at him, with a strange look in her eyes, and said, "Does Your Majesty really feel confident in handing over the Chen Kingdom to Prince Duan?"
Wei Jiandao: "King Run is young and unable to handle political affairs. Your Majesty is worried that he will be used by people with ulterior motives. The princes who have been entrusted to other places are even more miserable than King Duan. Your Majesty has no choice."
Obviously, the people Chen Huang was talking about were the Fang family. Zhao Yuan was young. If he were made emperor, firstly, he would not be able to control the powerful officials in the court. Secondly, Chen Huang was probably worried that the Fang family was too powerful.
If you are not careful, Chen Guo may not be named Zhao.
Originally, in a few years, when Zhao Yuan became an adult, Chen Huang's worries would disappear, but accidents always came so quickly, and his body no longer allowed him to wait any longer.
For Chen Huang, Duan Wang was indeed the most helpless but also the most suitable choice.
Tang Ning found that Wei Jian seemed to have forgotten an important person and asked, "Where is King Huai?"
If measured solely by talent, among all the princes, including Prince Run, no one is more suitable for that position than Prince Huai.
Wei Jiandao: "King Huai has issues with his background, so..."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Does Manager Wei also want to tell me that because King Huai's mother-in-law has no status, King Huai is not qualified to be the emperor?"
Wei Jian looked at him for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "We slaves don't know what your Majesty is thinking."
Tang Ning no longer embarrasses Wei Jian. He has already told him a lot of information, a lot of information he needs, and has made his position clear.
The carriage drove into the palace and stopped outside the harem. Wei Jian took Tang Ning inside. Seeing this, a palace maid guarding the door picked up her palace skirt and hurried to another palace.
Tang Ning only entered Queen Chen's Palace a few times, that is, she could only enter when she was treating Concubine Shu and the Queen Mother.
He and Wei Jian walked side by side and asked casually: "Are the Queen Mother and Concubine Shu in good health?"
Wei Jian nodded and said, "The Queen Mother and Concubine Shu are always in good health."
It seems that although Concubine Tang Hui controls the harem, she does not dare to take action against Concubine Shu. However, this is only temporary. With Tang Hui Concubine's ruthless methods, I am afraid that if Emperor Chen dies just now, she will kill King Run, King Huai, and even Prince Chen.
Concubine Shu and other concubines in the harem were caught in one fell swoop. Judging from her past behavior, it was possible to find any reason to bury them together.
Tang Ning and Wei Jian arrived at the door of Yangshen Temple and were about to go in when a voice suddenly came from behind them.
"stop!"
Concubine Tang Hui walked out of the corridor on the left, looked at Tang Ning, and said in a deep voice: "As a foreign minister, is the harem a place where you can come?"
Wei Jian hurriedly explained: "Empress, this is Your Majesty..."
Tang Huifei glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you have the right to speak here?"
When Wei Jian heard this, he looked at her and had to shut his mouth.
"General Manager Wei summoned me in the name of His Majesty, why can't I speak?" Tang Ning glanced at Concubine Tang Hui and continued: "Your Majesty has summoned me, not to mention the harem, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I have to come."
Wei Jian glanced at Tang Ning without missing a trace, while Concubine Tang Hui snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty tells you to die, will you go too?"
Tang Ning smiled and said: "If you want me to die, I have to die. If your Majesty lets the empress die, I will personally give her three feet of white silk..."
Concubine Tang Hui had a look on her face, her eyes were fixed on Tang Ning, and she said sternly: "How impudent!"
"You are the one who is so presumptuous!" Tang Ning's face darkened and she said, "I am the Right Chancellor of the DPRK. Your Majesty summoned me to discuss important state affairs. As a concubine, what qualifications do you have to stop me from interfering in politics and causing chaos in the harem?
Palace, do you know that I can join forces with my colleagues in the court to depose you as concubine?"
When he said this, he did not hide the murderous intention in his heart.
No matter how ruthless Tang Huifei was, she was still just a woman. Tang Ning had traveled all over the country in the past two years and had seen many mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and her hands were stained with blood. How could his killing intent be something that an ordinary woman could withstand?
A chill came from the bottom of her heart. Tang Huifei's face turned pale, she stepped back a few steps, and said in a trembling voice: "You, are you going to rebel?"
At this moment, she realized for herself that the young man in front of her was the right-hand prime minister, General Zuo Xiaowei, who was decisive in killing and had great military achievements, and not the nephew who she had never paid attention to...
A smile appeared on Tang Ning's face and she said: "To stop His Majesty from summoning the Prime Minister, I think it is the empress who wants to rebel..."
Concubine Tang Hui was speechless by what he said. At this moment, several coughs came from the palace. With the support of two eunuchs, Emperor Chen walked out of the palace, looked at Concubine Tang Hui, and said: "He is the one I ordered."
Wei Jian summoned you, there is nothing to do with you here, go down."
Concubine Tang Hui glanced at Tang Ning unwillingly, then remembered his look just now, her face turned even paler, she glared at Wei Jian fiercely, bowed and saluted Emperor Chen, and said, "I, my concubine, leave."
After Concubine Tang Hui left, Emperor Chen looked at Tang Ning and said, "Come in."
Compared with when Tang Ning left the capital, Chen Huang was completely different.
In less than half a year, he had lost half of his body weight. His face was pale and his eyes were sunken. He didn't even need a medical doctor to diagnose him. Just by looking at him, ordinary people knew that he was already dead.
Tang Ning followed Chen Huang into the Yang Temple. Chen Huang sat on a chair, leaned forward and asked, "How is the situation in Guizhou?"
The hall was filled with smoke and the smell of incense. Tang Ning looked up at Emperor Chen and said, "Your Majesty, the remnants of the Liang Kingdom want to restore the country in Guizhou, so there will be chaos in Guizhou."
"Liang Guoyu Party, Liang Guoyu Party again, haven't they already died in Jiangnan..." Chen Huang paused several times in one breath, and his voice was very low, as if he didn't have much strength.
Tang Ning explained: "The people I killed in Jiangnan were the remnants of the King of Guizhou, and the people who caused chaos in Guizhou were the King of Wu's party. But your Majesty, rest assured that I have ruined their plan. In a short time, there will be no more trouble in Guizhou."
chaos."
Emperor Chen nodded and said, "I can rest assured that you are doing the work."
If he had heard such news in the past, Emperor Chen would have laughed a few times to express his joy.
However, at this moment, there was no expression on his face, his eyes were a little hollow, and there was no look at all.
Tangning lamented in her heart that a generation of heroes had finally reached this point...
